The Faithfulness of Believers
Whenever he holds the upperhand, he goes about the earth
corrupting it, destroying crops and animals. Allah does not
love corruption. (Surat al-Baqara, 205)
Give full measure and full weight. Do not diminish people's
goods. Do not cause corruption in the land after it has been
put right. That is better for you if you are believers. (Surat al-
A‘raf , 85)
As can be seen, those individuals who are faithful, because they
live according to the moral precepts of the Qur'an, would feel great re-
spect and devotion to their state. The morality of the Qur'an is needed
to create the foundation of the state, as well as to establish unity and
co-operation; and believers who communicate the meaning of this
morality to others, call them to comply their lives according to it, expe-
rience a great sense of honor and personal contentment.
